Dorms and all that other fun stuff!!!!

<p>I am not trying to be rude, but it would save you and the people here a lot of time if you simply read the thread(s) first. For example, one mere page behind your post are descriptions of 90% of the dorms you're asking about. You could probably get a lot of your questions answered if you did that first.</p>

<p>Also, a useful function on forums like this one is this 'search' function kinda like google. Go to advanced search, select the NU forum and type "dorms." You will get a lot of hits and just choose/read from those.</p>

<p>I agree with the above two posters; there are great dorm descriptions a couple pages back.</p>

<p>I have some new questions:
- Residential colleges are THEIR OWN buildings, am I right? They are not parts of bigger/normal dorms, right?
For example this site:
<a href="http://www.northwestern.edu/nucuisine/locations/residence.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.northwestern.edu/nucuisine/locations/residence.html&lt;/a>
The site says that Ayers CCI is IN the dorm of Sargent, is this correct?
Or are the res. colleges separate buildings?
Because the food site makes it sound like all the res. colleges are in the dorms and thus have food services indoors, which is confusing me.</p>

<p>Magnetique, that site lists which dorms eat at which dining halls. So, for example, Shepard and PARC eat at Allison.
Residential Colleges ARE their own buildings.</p>

<p>I have done that already, so I have learnt quite a bit from you guys. Granted a number are spoken about, but what about Chapin? Does anyone have any insight about it?</p>

<p>Here is a whole page of comments about Chapin.</p>

<p>Thanks alot! I am still not sure though, I did an overnight at Willard, which was pretty cool, Chapin sounds good, but Shepard and Allison also sound like they could be good too. I know I will be happy where ever I go, but I am still confused.</p>
